Worst. Person. Ever. by Douglas Coupland
We also meet Raymond's upwardly failing sidekick, Neal, as well as Raymond's ex-wife, Fiona, herself an atomic bomb of pain. Even though he really puts the anti in anti-hero, you may find Raymond Gunt an oddly likeable character.
An outrageous comic riot, delivered as a tear-inducing funny and pitch-black farce.. For every laugh here, there’s a haunting, echoing scream in the distance. The plot is unbridled romp ... It is hard to describe, out of context, quite how funny Coupland’s novel can be. * Sunday Times *
Worst. Person. Ever. is very much a return to form. It had me laughing out loud on the bus to work. * Irish Times, Books of the Year *
There are gloriously unquotable remarks and fantastically lurid images on every page. Gunt’s mind is a super-sewer in which it is a pleasure to swim. You can’t help giggling, constantly. Worst. Person. Ever. may be a raging bonfire of inanities but it contains some of Coupland’s finest writing since Shampoo Planet. * Evening Standard *
There are some clever plot twists and fine comedy set pieces. * Scotland on Sunday *
A comic riot of a novel. * Sunday Times - Must Reads *
